Rubber Game. Lets take this series. This should be another tough battle! LFGM!

with the 7 day IL i dont know why they dont just IL him and bring up Vientos.
they announced Guillorme as a groin injury with imaging tomorrow. both of them should sit for a week.
Because Vientos sucks defensively at third base, and apparently you're the only one who doesn't know that
Sucks? Seems a little of an overstatement. Anyway, they can live with less than superstar defense during a Escobar/Guillorme IL stint if he produces at the plate.
Likely Escobar doesn't hit the DL. Although, in the broadcast they were saying Escobar right now can only hit left-handed. To me, it seems like Vientos might be the guy you want to be up to playing third against lefties.
Canha can also play there in a pinch and obviously would be the bat you want with Ruf in LF.

the best 5-man rotation in Mets history? on paper even, since they've only been a rotation for two turns so far.
I dunno.
Gooden
Cone
Darling
Ojeda
Fernandez
were pretty good in 88.
Yes, Gooden and company get the nod here.
I like the consistency these guys have brought to the mound though this season. Overachieving to a large degree although I wish that wasn't the case.

its mind boggling if they dont. they dont have a ton of IF depth now so doesnt it make sense to give the next guy up some time to acclimate if needed? soft tissue injuries can linger and reagrivate.
unless they are forced i dont see them doing it vs braves/phils/nyy so maybe colorado series?
Only to you is it mind boggling. If Guillorme is out, they have no backup SS, so they need someone who can play SS. Plus Vientos sucks at 3B and will K over 50%
I think Escobar would be the back-up at SS and you consider calling up possibly Baty to start at 3B.

Vientos has played 3B just 4 times in his last 34 games. According to DanMetroman the Mets stopped listing him as a 3B. He hadn't played 3B in a month until this weekend
"2. New York Mets
Record: 75-40
Last Power Ranking: 4"
"We got us a New York switcheroo, folks!"
"While the Yanks have gone ice cold, the Mets cannot be stopped. They own the second-best record in baseball and have won 17 of their last 20 games. A key strength has been pitching, as no opponent has scored more than two runs in any of New York’s last eight contests. Only once in the last month has a Mets starter been knocked out before completing five innings. The rotation gets the ball to Edwin Díaz, who walks out to tremendous music and then slams the door shut."
"This is a pitching staff now running at full strength. Max Scherzer is dealing, Jacob deGrom is finally back and Chris Bassitt is eating high-quality innings. One of Taijuan Walker (3.43 ERA) or Carlos Carrasco (3.76 ERA) will not start a playoff game. We all remember what happened the last time a Mets team was this pitching-strong."

Hurt his groin rounding third and is expected to have an MRI
"Again, Cora came to the Mets as the worst third base coach in the game. While he’s arguably been better than that, it two huge spots, he made indefensibly horrible calls. The Mets need him to be better."

Eduardo Escobar (left side tightness) says he can still only hit left-handed for now, but he took early work today and hopes to return to switch-hitting as early as tomorrow. He's in the starting lineup tonight against Spencer Strider, so he'd be batting lefty anyway to start.

Luis Guillorme is expected to miss 3-4 weeks due to his groin injury, according to a source.
The Mets have not yet made a roster move to replace Guillorme, but he's heading to the injured list.

The Mets aren’t calling up Brett Baty or Mark Vientos to fill in for Luis Guillorme.
Jeff McNeil 302 minor league innings at SS, Gosuke Katoh 358, I wasn't kidding
i dont think that's it. to my knowledge that didn't change in the new CBA so anything service time related would be impacted next year not this year.
i think the new regime (eppler + buck) are just being extremely conservative with promotions. they've done a lot right but i think on this they are being very wrong. it's not hard to imagine where the braves would be if they didn't throw their 2 young guys into the fire straight from AA. they were 100% wrong about not promoting Vientos for a month in june/july pre-deadline, it's almost impossible to envision a scenario where he wouldn't have outproduced the 600ish OPS dom/jdd posted in that time period. and we are seeing what the upside could have been before our eyes with 3 guys who combined were hitting about league average now having a huge impact post-deadline by lengthening the lineup.

Jeff McNeil has as much minor league experience at SS as Katoh, if you're really THAT concerned with the fact Baty can't fill-in as backup SS in a pinch (he can't)

i see the point but i dont think they'd want to risk mcneil at SS right now and beyond that i think they also know they need to give him occasional nights off so while im 100% with you on promoting either 3b they need to do that AND activate a backup MI.
the mind-boggling part of this is that they are now trotting a banged up Escobar out every day which wasn't a great proposition even when he was healthy.
rosters expand in 2 weeks, there's 0 excuse to not pick whichever 3b they like best and give them a shot. if you don't want to IL Escobar then drop Medina. That is going to happen in the next 2 weeks anyway as soon as Megill or Smith are rehabbed.
they got too cute in the old school mindset of reliable veterans and all that did was waste time giving at bats to non-productive veterans who have no future here and aren't part of any solution.
i feel like someone did it in the last 10 years but maybe im wrong. figueroa maybe?
Quote:
could be wrong but Marrero would be the first LI Duck to play for the Mets in the same season right?

Wasn't Figgy. He was a duck in 2006, a Met in 2008

hard to believe it was almost 15 years ago he was a met.
for today with Guillorme going on shelf the right move was activating a multi-position backup IF (obviously ideally it would have been someone better than Katoh though).
beyond today however they need to be ready to DFA a pitcher and call up 1 of the 3b even if it's just to try to make sure Escobar doesn't reinjure himself.
vientos is already on the 40 man and offensively ready even if they have a bunch of righties coming up. Baty is a little further off but brings better defense and better contact profile. the only wrong decision is not calling up 1 of them.

im going to choose to read into that with a shred of optimism. they can't possibly plan to play both escobar/mcneil banged up every day for the next 3-4 weeks and hope they survive. or give away 10% of their outs in games started by someone like Katoh or Marrero or Blankenhorn (who hasn't even played 3b in 3 years).
vientos is the only one on the 40 man and they don't really have a ton of spots to create either. Clay's spot likely goes to Katoh (or Marrero). But then Medina, Plummer, Lee are the next 3. but remember Megill and Luchessi are coming off 60 man IL, so Megill was almost definitely earmarked for the Medina spot if Medina even lasts that long before getting DFA'd for Smith or Hunter.

Dodgers starter Walker Buehler will have season-ending elbow surgery on August 23. The procedure will be performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache.
The Mets are calling up infielder Deven Marrero, whom they recently signed to a minor league deal, to replace Luis Guillorme (per source).
Marrero, 31, was hitting .236 at Syracuse. More importantly, he's capable of providing defensive coverage at second, third and shortstop.
there's your first same season met/duck dan!

I mean for just this moment... good for him. That's pretty impressive on a personal level to go from Indy ball to MLB in one season.
so i'd imagine if tonight goes the way of a blowout, it's Medina's ball then probably DFA'd knowing Williams and Joely are options for multiple innings again tomorrow and beyond if nec.

definitely. and they did need a legit backup SS. Escobar or McNeil healthy in an emergency is one thing but banged up the last thing you want to do is get them hurt worse playing out of position in a spot where they probably aren't good enough any more to begin with.
with the postseason eligibility deadline upcoming i feel like it would be smart to give themselves as many options as possible, your mauricio idea included. he's also on the 40 already. if lindor (or anyone) slams their finger in a door again they need to give themselves as many options as possible.
all the guys theyve added have been great but that's where i would have swiped someone like Kike just in case. i think he's about to get activated and assuming he's healthy again he'd have been a nice emergency policy anywhere.
